Corning 012T81-33180-A1 – Interlocking Fiber Cable, OM3, Tight Buffered, 50 µm, 12 Fiber, Riser Rated

Corning 012T81-33180-A1 – Interlocking Fiber Cable, OM3, Tight Buffered, 50 µm, 12 Fiber, Riser Rated

This 12-fiber tight-buffered interlocking cable features OM3 multimode performance with a 50 µm core diameter, ideal for high-speed horizontal and riser applications. It is riser-rated (OFCR) with flame-retardant aqua outer jacket and inner jacket, and provides robust dielectric strength members along with interlocking armor for enhanced mechanical protection. Designed for indoor installations, it offers long-term tensile strength of up to 200 N and short-term tensile strength of 660 N, with a minimum bend radius of 170 mm during installation. The cable supports 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, delivering maximum attenuation of 2.8 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm. Optimized for reliable high-bandwidth connectivity, it provides an effective modal bandwidth (EMB) of 2000 MHz*km.
